in this study, a new method for joining aluminum tubes in subsurface structures using steel converting and aluminum welding are presented and reviewed. but near the weld area is under high thermal cycle and will cause residual stresses in heat affected zone. therefore for assessment of proposed connection from the perspective of residual stress by using the finite element method welding of tube...

Differences in the come-up times and thermal inactivation parameters of Listeria innocua in salmon (Oncorhynchus keta) caviar containing 2.5% salt using conventional thermal-death-time (TDT) glass tubes and a novel aluminum tube were tested and compared. Generally, the come-up times and decimal reduction times (D-values) were shorter and the change in temperature required to change the D-value ...

‘THEUSE of heavy aluminum foil in our ashing procedure for PB1 (1), introduced 3 years ago, has proved extremely successful in preventing cross-contamination. A Temco double-door muffle furnace is used for which three steel buckets were made; small buckets, 4 in. wide, 6 in. long, and 6 in. deep, and one large bucket, 6 in. wide, 8 in. long, and 6 in. deep. A steel shovel was made to aid the te...

Studies of the crushing behavior of closed-cell, aluminum foam-filled aluminum and steel tubes have shown an interaction effect between tube wall and foam filler [1, 2, 3]. The crushing loads of foam-filled tubes are, therefore, found to be higher than the sum of the crushing loads of foam (alone) and tube (alone) mainly due to this effect. Santosa et al. [1], based on FEM results, proposed the...

Aluminum foam has received considerable attention in various fields and is expected to be used as an engineering material owing to its high energy absorption properties and light weight. To improve the mechanical properties of aluminum foam, combining it with dense tubes, such as aluminum foam-filled tubes, was considered necessary. In this study, an aluminum foam-filled steel tube, which consi...

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of different packaging systems on some parameters of cryopreserved canine spermatozoa. The experimental material consisted of the sperm-rich fractions of ejaculates collected from four Beagle dogs. Semen samples for cryopreservation were stored in 0.25 ml plastic straws and two aluminum tubes with a total volume of 5.0 ml. Semen was frozen in stat...

  In this study, a new method for joining aluminum tubes in subsurface structures using steel converting and aluminum welding are presented and reviewed. But near the weld area is under high thermal cycle and will cause residual stresses in heat affected zone. Therefore for assessment of proposed connection from the perspective of residual stress by using the finite element method welding of tu...

Effect of temperature on formability of AA6063 aluminum tubes in incremental forming process was investigated. Experiments are performed on AA6063 aluminum tubes. A spirally moving tool incrementally expands the tube wall. The tube is clamped from both ends while the deformation zone is not in contact with the die. A circumferential heating system is used to heat the tube due to the low formabi...

5.1 Anodic Aluminum Oxide (AAO) Templated Nanowires Due to their small sizes and potential for controllable features, nanowires/tubes represent an attractive option for increasing the surface area of ceria-based anodes. Templated approaches are currently the most flexible routes to fabricating nanowires/tubes, as only a suitable filling method needs be developed for a particular material compos...

The favorable energy-absorption properties of metal foams have been frequently proposed for damping or anti-crash applications. The aim of this paper is to investigate the endurance of these properties for composite structures, made by a metal or a hybrid metal-polymeric foam used as the core filling of a tubular metal case. The results of experimental tests are shown, run with two types of str...
